Opening Pandora when phone is locked - Moto 360

Hello,
Before the latest update, I was able to ask Google to open Pandora when the phone is in my pocket and locked. My phone would connect to my car's bluetooth and Pandora is the only music app that I've found so far that will automatically play.
Can anyone else open Pandora when the phone is locked from their Moto360?
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Pandora. I have a Galaxy S6 Edge on Android 5.1.1 Android Wear ver. 1.1.1.2006643 and Google Play ver 7.8.99

BT meta data not working

I use my phone to stream music to my car using BT. Note 3 worked great. So did my one plus one. The note 4 will either show no info or it will show one ong and never update. Im still testing apps but was wondering if this is a phone software problems or does the apps need to be updated to suppoer the note 4?

Mine works fine. I've only used Spotify so far.
I have used the xm app and doubletwist. Going to try Google music next. All these apps worked on my note 3 and one plus one. That's why I asked if the apps need to be updated.
Power Amp/Stock Music Player and Chevy Volt combination works, Power Amp and Honda Odyssey doesn't...haven't tried stock player on the van just yet
I have a 2014 accord.
I get that sometimes on my Note 4 in my BRZ too. This is using Google Play Music. However, the connection is more reliable than my S4 and S5 were, so I'm okay if the song titles don't come over all the time. When I use Pandora, they always update properly.
Hey its good to see someone else having this same issue, I also came from a (rooted) GS4, and everything worked flawlessly through BT, but same as yourself, I have no track info showing up for spotify or tunein radio, like I used to on my s4.
And one other thing, the buttons on my steering wheel that skipped tracks always worked for skipping tracks through anything played through BT on my s4, this no longer works on my note 4.
One other thing I did just want to mention, the track info on the car stereo screen didnt always work, for streaming apps like spotify, that is, until I believe my S4 was updated to 4.3. Never knew why. Track info on players like poweramp just playing track form phone sd card always displayed track info.
me too
Mine does this too but only with google music. Pandora and others work fine.
Pandora also works for me. I will try google music on the way home today.
I had that happen a lot on my Samsung Galaxy S5 too. But only when using Google Play Music.
So I don't think it is a Note specific issue.
Either a 4.4.4 issue (my S5 was on Verizon and on 4.4.4) or a Google Play Music issue.

stock music player and jet audio works fine on 2013 Honda Accord EXL V6
A lot more people are reporting problems with the Bluetooth and meta data, mine has been doing the same thing since day one. Also its the same with all services, rdio, Spotify, play music, tune in radio, sound cloud. I have tested in 8 cars and on my Sonos and other Bluetooth enabled devices and it's the same. I am starting to believe it's the phone. My S4, S5, and Note 1 and 3 all work without issue.
I wonder if all versions of the Note4 have this problem or if it just the ATT version. If all are having this problem then maybe samsung needs to send out and update to fix this.
Mine doesn't have this issue. In my 2012 Ford Focus with Sync, Metadata works perfectly with the stock music player and Play Music.
I used Bluetooth in my car yesterday with 3 different apps. The meta data worked 100% correctly all day.
The new version of Play Music I downloaded yesterday must have had some fixes in it, because Monday that particular app was screwing up the meta data constantly.

Maybe its a problem with my car radio. Only app that works for me still is pandora. I may need to see if there is and firmware upgrade for my cars radio. 2014 Accord Ex

Google Play Music Will Only Play Downloaded Playlists, Won't Stream

I've got a JY-UQ124 = RK3188 Quad Core, 16 GB Flash, 1024*600 Screen and have a rather odd problem. When on my home wifi, Google Play Music on my head unit behaves normally and allows me to see and play music via streaming (I have All Access) or playlists that I've downloaded. When I am tethered to my phone (Nexus 6P, T-Mobile), Google Play Music only allows me to play downloaded playlists and will no longer stream music. All radio stations/playlists that aren't downloaded are grayed out. Has anyone had that (really weird) issue? I'm in the USA with Google Play Music All Access.
I'm on a Nexus 6P w/ T-Mobile as well, and I don't have any problems streaming music via tethering.
Does your unit actually have an internet connection when tethered? IE, are you able to access websites via Chrome or Google play, etc? It sounds like for whatever reason your device isn't getting a web connection when tethered.
Update: I actually experienced this problem today. Head unit connected to the internet via tether (confirmed with web browser and other apps), but Google Play Music acting like it's in "Downloaded Only" mode and only allowing playback of cached songs. Reinstalling the Google Play Music app fixed the problem.
I had a similar issue on my head unit. Despite being connected via WiFi shared from my phone I had to turn off "Stream only on Wifi" for it to work.

Play Music + bluetooth

Hello. I have a 5x rooted with 7.1.1. I have just subscribed to google music. Is there a way to stop google music auto playing when connected to my car bluetooth. I use tunein radio most of the time but I have to disable the Google music app to allow tunein to play. This is inconvenient if I choose to use the Google app.
TIA

That really depends on your car's system I think. My VW doesn't automatically play yet my wife's Acura does.

Play Music issues on AW 2.0

Hi, i have a problem with Play Music app after AW 2.0 update. On 1.5 i was able to download music to my watch by selecting Play Music from watch and then "Play on wear" which showed all the albums i have on my phone or selecting Play Music from my phone and in the settings there was a Android wear section and there was "manage downloads" but neither is now available on 2.0 :/ So you can't download music to your watch anymore or is it changed and i just can't figure out how to do it now with 2.0? Please, can someone help me?
Btw, all my music are transferred by using PC from my original cd's to my phone so no albums bought from Google Play. Maybe after AW 2.0 update, downloading music to my watch only supports music bought straight from Google Play which would suck
I am very interested in this also since I use the smartwatch to listen to music directly from it with Bluetooth Headphones when I'm at the gym. If it doesn't work I won't be updating it.
Seriously guys, no one else uses Play Music to download some tracks to their Huawei Watch from phone? Why the hell it was changed in AW 2.0 since it worked so well on 1.5?

Yesterday I opened Play Music HW App.
Now it works really close to the one on the smartphone...
It is possible to stream music via wifi or to download music directly from your smartwatch. (wifi or bluetooth).
To download a song, a album or a Playlist you just need to press and hold for 1 second the icon of your selection .. .so the download will start..
I verified that if you are not charging your smartwatch it is possible that the download pauses...
This morning after charge I had the info on my smartwatch that all albums have been downloaded.. and they work without problems
It works differently now. Android Police summarized it:

Hi, searching for a solution I founded 2 options: if you use Google Play Music you have to create an account and suscribe for about 25 dollars/year and it works fine. Another option is to install Wear Media from the Play Store and it works like the old play music, you can download your music to your wacth, it also works fine. Wear Media also have the shuffle option!

Thanks for the tip!
Wear Media is an app you install both on the smartphone and on the watch? Is it free?
Cheers

Well, that's really stupid :/ I hope Google brings back the sideloading feature with later updates. I'm definitely not gonna subscribe to Play Music! I have over 200 original music cd's that i rip to my PC and then transfer to my smartphones.

Hi! Yes its free! Download it to your phone and it installs in your watch. Then in your phone you select what music you transfer to your watch.
At least there are such skilled devs that can fix what mighty Google frakked up..

Hi .
i have this watch with wear v2.9
but in opening google play music, app told you most connect to wifi but i can't connect to wifi. My wifi don't work - i sync wifi pass with android wear app and my phone connect to home wifi but watch no and in watch wifi ican't see any wifi find with watch !!!

Wear 2.0 only get "internet" via Wifi

I just got the Huawei Watch with Android Wear 2.0
It pairs just fine with my phone but I was having issues getting the Google Account added to it.
I forced Wifi on the watch then Google account finally was added. I was able to use Ok Google to search just fine.
The moment I am away from my Wifi though, it will no longer be able to connect with ok Google to do searches even though it is still connected to my watch and I can control things like youtube videos to pause, change volume etc.
Any ideas???
PD The exact error is can't reach google at the moment and my GOOGLE is up to date.
